i'd go with Red for the LA/Cs and Pat Riley for the NBA squad. Pop really hasn't had to deal with too many big egos and everybody knows that the brothas would listen to Riles.

this is why you can add offensive machines who arent quite as effective on the defensive end, like Nash or Dirk.

Well, Shaq and Kobe could have won 6,7,8 or 9 rings by now if not for the hate. but anyway good point. But by that coin, for rings I'm sure MJ/Isiah tolerate each other for a couple of years.
We are talking about talents and prime, not egos and age.
Kobe would never pass the ball, especially in that crowd. He would have to use that moment to be seen as better than all of them.
The NBA stomps the living out of them, not even close.
Yeah not to mention MJ, Pippen and LeBron on the perimeter.
How the does anyone score against that squad?
imo u need bigger pgs to play against magic or have one of the wings defending him
remove oscar, shift pippen down to pg duties or lebron, insert wade and webber, dirk at sf
I don't think just throwing the best at each position into a team formation works.....can't have 5 number 1's, where each is used to shooting 20+ attempts a game, with a huge ego as well.
usdane answered for me. Sorry for the misunderstanding though.
Pretty much..
If we're talking about egos, none of these teams would realistically function well, so I don't think that's a relevant part of the discussion..
what s in dis thread dont understand is dat
bron/pippen/duncan/hakeem/drob dont need and will not ask 4 a load of shots. Pippen is proven, brons provin it this season, duncan's a given and the rest are smart humble decent players.
Only dat needs da ball is MJ so dats ok.
Add 2 dat that all players on nba team have excellent range (shaq guardin dream/timmy means shaq gon have to guard a midrange j/bankshot all day).
Not to mention theyll get a HUGE no of fts.
Plus pippen/mj/bron/duncan/hakeem are insane defensively and will kill a team with shaq/russ/bird/mchale on da break. Can u imagine a break wit mj/bron/drob/scottie ?
People overratin da outta lakers/celtics. NBA team would beat da outta dem, double digits easily.
brons a team player as a heat fan u should know dat !
scottie proven 2 work well without shots
duncan proven
drob proven
dream proven
Except MJ deez s is willin passers and not da type to if they winnin. NBA team would have no in problem wit chemistry.
Wilt in his prime against today’s soft & spoiled prima donnas? Give Me Break…Magic feeds Wilt the ball on fast breaks & Wilt scores 75 points a game & never fouls out against MJ, Bird & Hakeem….Occasionally kick it out to Kobe & West just for giggles…Move Kareem to PF to launch uncontested sky hooks…Lakers 195 Rest of NBA 53…Riles & Phil just sit on the bench & smirk….
That's nice and all, except for the fact that Wilt in his prime didn't play for the Lakers..
Agree with sportcamper. That is why I excluded Wilt. Until proven otherwise he'd average 50 pts a game. Yeah I understand the argument he was playing with a bunch of whities. But no black/blue or anything player living or dead could have gotten the records he got. (only Shaq would have gotten close)
Plus he could qualify with either NBA or LA teams.
Wilt against today's guys who actually match his size and strengths rather than a bunch of short, frail honkies mean Wilt isn't half the dominant presence he was in a watered down NBA with guys like Dolph Schayes playing at a HOF level.
Put prime Shaq in that era he could easily average 50 PPG for a season (probably multiple seasons), and unlike Wilt could actually lead a team to more than one le in such a ty era. Wilt and Russell are the two most overrated players of all time.
on the contrary, how is magic supposed to guard someone like Nash? he would blow past him pretty much at will, and skull him with the series of footwork moves and unorthodox types of shots he has at his disposal. i think it would pretty much be a wash in the end.
IMO, PG, SG, and a few other spots are a wash. the difference in a game like this would be the all-around abilities of Lebron/Pippen, Dirks unique perimeter ability, and the interior defense of guys like Duncan, Hakeem, and Robinson. I think those advantages would overcome whatever advantages Team Celtics/Lakers would have (the only advantage that I see for them is more dominant post scorers).
Criteria has to be that you get the player named at the ability level he played with the team. So, players like Garnett and D.Johnson would be past prime while players like Payton, Malone and Walton were in serious decline.
You get the player who played for the Celtics or Lakers.
Did you not notice the color of my name?
Honestly though, Magic is better (IMO) than Pippen, and I think McHale could work against Tim Duncan down low. (Not saying it'd be easy, but I think he could be a presence.) Put Wilt in there as a PF alongside Shaq, tons of length there.
As someone above said, the best chance the NBA team would have would be to get on the fastbreak. If they could run the Lakers/C's team, they could win easily. I just don't think the Lakers/C's team would let them run it that easily.
Don't be re ed. Magic would take a steamy on Nash. Maybe Nash could blow by Magic then he'd have trees to finish over with McHale/Shaq. Idk how the you could have Nash over Isiah Thomas, Thomas and Magic are by far the two best PGs in NBA history.
TBH, the 72:10 Bulls would probably beat the all Laker/Celtics team, on chemistry alone.
You are a ing stupid . Wilt in his prime is no better than Shaq in his prime. Maybe a little more mobile, but not any more powerfully dominant. Wilt got all his points scoring on worthless, undersized white dudes. He didn't have to worry about facing guys like Duncan, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, Shaq, Howard, etc... guys who are his size or bigger on a nightly basis.
Part of me wants to believe this is just a troll post, and if it is, only a lakerfan or an old could pull this off, because many lakerfans/old s are actually ignorant and stupid enough to actually believe this.
for pg u dont really need a natural pg
u can always have a point forward carrying the pg duties, someone like bron, wade, pippen...
forgot about malone/barkley, dr.j..need dirk on the squad for outside scoring....
